The difference is you can't use 3rd party libraries in CS or Dart unless you create some kind of wrapper for them.

TS allows you to use any JS library off the bat. If you want stronger type checking the you can define an interface to the library, but it's not necessary.

I think that's a much better place to be rather than create a whole new ecosystem.
Auto Transport Chattanooga, Tennessee
I believe it should. If the systems have separate thermostats you'll need two nests though I think (they apparently can communicate with one another).
My main issue with ultrabook is that they combine the issues of tablets and laptop with very little advantage than "this is a thin pc".
I would really like to see some ARM laptop that could last days ( dual/quad core and 2-4 GB of RAM)
Uh you say "of course" (I.e. I know that it's self evident), but then you say you need a citation? Really?
Mentioning things like "Peer to peer digital currency" and "protocol of storage and exchange" in the first paragraph seems to me like it would turn a lot of non-technical people off.

The "Why is it any good?" answer would be a much better introductory paragraph I think!
The logic that men are to blame for the lack of women in CS is mind-boggling. Take some responsibility for yourself. Stop putting the blame on others.
My two colleagues on either side of me recently bought new laptops One bought the 13" Air, the other bought a 13" Asus Zenbook. Seriously, I am not making this up.

The Air is very noticeably lighter. I have no idea why because the specs on the Asus and Apple sites say there's only 0.05kg in it in ASUS favour, but my hands very definitely say otherwise. Maybe Asus doesn't include the weight of the battery? Pure guess though.

Of course the Air is significantly more expensive. Personally I'd say the touchpad and screen on the Air are better, but not hugely.
So what if there is a lack of women in IT? There is a lack of men in Human Resources and child care. Why is it an issue? Why does our society need to be specially engineered to reflect demographics in some industries and not in other.

Having said that, I don't believe such remarks should have a place in any professional conference.
It really amuses me that so few tech sites bother to mention the MacBook Air when talking about "Ultrabooks". It's not like one can exactly deny that Intel/PC manfcs were "inspired". I wonder if its genesis is part of the reason that they fail so hard when it's not Apple making them.
My kid knows perfectly well what she looks like. The developers however don't seem to know anyone that is of the non-peachy variety...(!)

Only smooth & silky hairstyles.

All girls have dainty little noses.

All eyes have folds.

My (interracial) kid felt very welcome...

Try again.

(!)Edit: I was wrong, skin tone selection is there. Hair/nose remarks stand.
They may go to $400k, but not until you have significant experience in the field, so you five year would be more like 10 years. Then you have a family, health insurance gets pricier, and so on such that $50k a year doesn't look that attractive anymore...

I don't think Philip has posted this project on here before. His user name is: http://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=pgbovine

Another project he worked on that you may have seen on HN is the PhD Grind book (about getting a CS PhD from Stanford).
Because I think it bears repeating in the context of your comment, I'm going to post the same link to "Lighten Up," that danso posted above. By dismissing the sexist behavior described in the OP we give it a free pass. And your comment is dismissive. If we really care about the dearth of female talent in our communities we should be creating an environment where they want to hang out.

You could just go and change it manually, it's just a source file. It also sounds like they're open sourcing the lot...
I'm guessing they mean closed-source software should be presumed compromised.
God. Please don't start this again. This discussion is really no different than the vim vs emacs of old.
Signed up, reserved name and I am now waiting for it to be something useful.
I agree with this. If it's nothing more than a forward-compatible superset of JavaScript, with optional static typing, it has a place in the world of JS target languages.
NASA recording lets you hear the Earth from space
If you want to quibble about it, it's probably best to say that we don't stock bullets in every supermarket. Plenty of other super stores stock guns and ammunition, as do many country grocery stores (which are often a grocery store and a hardware store and a sporting goods store, and maybe even a gas station).
>you can't use 3rd party libraries in CS

yes, you can - i.e.:

$('h1').hide() //javascript
$('h1').hide() #coffeescript

Surely you would need energy to chilled the Air to Liquid?
Will Nest work with a dual zone system? (Also does anyone have one of these? I have questions)
Let's not only criticize Apple for this. Samsung is attempting to do the same thing even now with the iPhone 5.
Maybe it would have been better if he said "People, profits, and individuals you would like to have sexual intercourse with."

But the general gist is that he was trying to not say "pussy" and maybe his mind isn't making the kind of mental leaps we're expecting of him. He did include both genders, though, and you can't fault him for misspeaking. Obama said he wanted to send more jobs to China last week, and no one was flipping out about that.
Or that different people have different tastes. Imagine that!
There's a tutorial which looks slightly old: http://kivy.org/docs/guide/packaging-ios.html

If Kivy wants to become "the primary Python for iOS" rather than just "yet another cross-platform Python implementation which nobody uses for serious iOS projects", they have to nail packaging more convincingly.
Journey to the mantle of the earth
Because it's different to say "women aren't in CS due to sexism" and "sexism turns women off to CS".
Yeah, I agree with that, but when I upgrade Node I also don't want to spend an hour or two fixing out-of-date interface definitions (although that would be a great way to get familiarized with Node changes).
"Interesting" was my main point; the non-paged pool comment was mostly kidding. Interesting in that it could indicate a "de-hibernation" process that's nothing like the "inverse of hibernation" one might naively think it should be: while hibernation must write 100% of allocated physical RAM to disk, "de-hibernation" need only restore non-paged pool plus whatever else is necessary to reinitialize the virtual memory subsystem (including whatever drivers are necessary to support it, of course). This done, the balance of the hibernation file could effectively be treated as a page file.
I got an 11-inch Asus UX21E to replace my heavy, battery-hog 17-inch HP monster. I chose it for two reasons:

1. It's really, really light, I can carry it in one hand or in my Muji manbag. And it's a PC.

2. It's an i5, so while it's fast enough for web and email, the limitations of CPU and GPU power keep me honest as a client-side coder.

Six months on, I can't fault it. I'll upgrade when DX11 GPU's become available, but for now it's perfect. If I needed a Mac, I'd get an Air, but I need a PC: I can't imagine ever going back to a full-fat laptop, and tablets are simply not for C++ coders, end of story.
> " They never tried to win with windows, for example, by not making office for mac."

Wow! Ok, I'm guessing you're of an age where you were probably very young at the time, but exactly this happened. Microsoft, for years, threatened to cancel office for the mac (office only exists because of the mac- word and excel started in the mac before windows existed.)

Apple used their control over office to drive Apple nearly to bankruptcy in the 1990s. It was only until Microsoft got caught red handed shipping source code stolen from Apple that they were forced to negotiate, and that produced a massive settlement where Microsoft paid Apple many billions of dollars over 5 years, both companies entered a broad patent cross licensing agreement (Which is still in effect, and which is why microsoft doesnt' ship something like android which is an iOS ripoff- but was forced to do something original with Windows Phone.)

And of course, part of that agreement was that Microsoft would continue to ship office for the mac.

> "If the office team wants to make software for mac or android or whatnot, I don't think they'd be stopped."

Not how microsoft works at all, and I know this because I worked there. Anything that is seen as a threat to the windows monopoly is killed, immediately.

Office for Microsoft's own tablets was mortally wounded because it was seen as a threat to the desktop windows empire.... which is part of the reason the tablet market was in terminal shape until the iPad came out.

> They don't actually make that much software. They also don't like to do things that don't directly make money.

Apple makes a great deal of software that it is unable to directly monetize-- iOS and Mac OS X are good examples. While Apple charges $20 for OS X, that's ancillary.... Apple also makes a great deal of software- from games like Texas Holdem Poker (which they made to help jumpstart the App Store to Final Cut Pro X which was made to make the Mac relevant for that class of creatives back in the day) almost all of Apple's software efforts are to support the platform. Hell they even make a database and Office apps so the mac can never be without good solutions in these areas.... and then they sell them for cheap.

How To Create Your First iPhone Application (2012 Edition)
I looked at the wiring for the previous generation and at the very least it wired up to such systems. I'm fairly sure it works with them - and, in spite of all the pretty pictures, the site ( http://www.nest.com/ ) is quite informative.
He stated that "If you really think this is the cause of lack of women in CS, you've never raised a woman."

In other words, he's saying that you can't comment on this if you've never had a daughter to raise. How else do you interpret that?

Sorry you've got a logical fallacy there. Raising a woman is sufficient but not necessary. If you raised a woman, then you would not think that. But there might be other reasons for not thinking that, other than raising a woman.
Söder is Stockholms "Harlem" ;) While being pretty central it's not located in the most central part of the city, and the only decent lunch place around here just closed last week, ack! :)
I can't thank you enough for this post. It really bothers me that Woz always manages to get so much attention for his seemingly anti-Apple opinions for this very reason. He's a great guy, but he hasn't been involved at Cupertino for a majority of Apple's existence now.
There are between 1 and 3 posts that say quite literally the EXACT same thing as this post that end up on the front page of hacker news every week, and frankly it's starting to wear thin. As @debacle said, this is becoming a really old and ridiculous trend.

Let's stop making parrot posts about this issue and make posts about what you can actually do about it. It's one thing to complain about injustice, but once there are hundreds of people complaining about injustice and not a SINGLE person so much as proposing anything we could possibly do about it, it becomes a waste of time.

Everyone knows that many people think there is a problem. Continuing to state this over and over is stupid. Propose a solution instead.
I guess in the Walmart case it'd also be more accurate to say we stock groceries in our gun stores, since as the gp said Walmart sold guns and ammo before groceries.

So now we're back to Americans all being fat as opposed to gun-crazed.
Hey, I don't know why you assume Mojang doesn't employ women. They totally have ... uh ... two female employees out of 28?

http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Mojang_AB#Current_employee...

Oh, so that's why.

Incidentally, I don't mean to call you out in particular, but when you call grownup female programmers "girls," lots of very cool women will decide to hang out somewhere else -- sort of for the same reason black men in the US aren't going to love it if someone calls them "boys." Not trying to police your language, just something to think about.
Desktop Manufacturing Part 1 – Revolutions
But the opposite is not always true. There are many libraries written in CoffeeScript that are difficult to use in plain JavaScript due to the use of its class syntax. You can use Underscore.js to get around this, or just write your own inheritance code, but that's obviously a big tradeoff. Of course, using TypeScript libraries in JS will likely have this same issue.
It's an issue because there aren't enough people in IT full stop, and because the reason half of those with the intellectual potential aren't interested is downright insulting.

There's also research to say mixed gender teams perform better along some axes, but that's peanuts next to the numbers game.
I've learned not to underestimate the crafting community. I was astonished when I saw what Ravelry (https://www.ravelry.com) grew into. It certainly casts a wider net than a specialized quilting website, but if even a small fraction of the 2 million worldwide members of Ravelry (as of 2.29.2012) found this interesting, one would have an impressive userbase. I've forwarded the project on to my mother :)
I got a Zenbook and i dont wanne get back to my old notebook...

yeah they arent cheap but this arent mainstream products

i dont get why it is a disaster...
a disaster is that many manifacturs put bad screens in ther laptops or other things that must get better...

That's not really surprising - Microsoft sells software, Google sells internet services and Apple sells hardware. Obviously the first two benefit from being on competing platforms, Apple doesn't.
Erm, 0x10c?[0] That's shaping up to be potential Minecraft-level success, if Notch can deliver what has been promised.

I'm just pointing out that the worst case time complexity is an issue that can't always be cast aside. Aren't cryptographic hash functions generally slower?
It's not about "society" it's about IT. I don't have a moral reason to make all genders equal or whatever. I just want more women in IT because A) we need more people in IT in general and B) women have different kinds of interests, influences, and experiences in our society and it would be good to add those to our collective problem-solving pool.

I was really scratching my head about what the hell tags were when I saw this yesterday. I clicked around, read pages, mentions of tags all over but no explanation or alternate description of what they were. Terrible unless you're some marketer already using all these. As a web dev, I was mystified (realize now exactly what it is, but just never used the 'tag' word).
Seems like a lot of work for a niche space/userbase that is heavily tagging content/etc
I have it in 8 zones. They cooperate well.
"If successful, Iran will have accomplished something few other nations could: full control over its citizens' modern communications."

I feel like a lot of nations could do this, they just don't. After all, when the internet was invented it would be quite easy to do such a thing.
Yeesh. I'm glad you mentioned his name, I wouldn't have noticed it. My sole exposure to his writing has been the occasional anti-Nvidia tirade. The stuff he wrote for the Inquirer was at a "have you ever seen a commie drink a glass of water?" level of nuttiness.

It's impressive that he got a whole article out of "I asked them for a review unit lots of times and they kept saying no". I didn't see anything insightful there at all.
In addition to the Zenbook that's already mentioned, Samsung's Series 9 is also worth a look.
Hmm. You received quite a different insinuation than I did. I don't think there was any suggestion that one needs a technical degree to understand HN headlines. Judging by the other comics on the site, I don't think the author has any difficulty understanding HN headlines.

Instead, I believe the artist was attempting to communicate that a great number of the stories that are posted to HN embody a litany of subjective, semi-defensible, jargon-filled articles that don't quite meet the bar of objective, defensible information and/or positions expected by (and drilled into) those who have a liberal arts degree.

Perhaps I'm reading a bit too much into the comic and granting it insinuation that's not there (granted, my degree & grad work was in history and philosophy, so I could be off on the author's intention and reading in my own subjective interpretation), but it struck me as the author saying the typical HN post is far less technical and objective than one might expect it to be, and far more subjectively opinionated on various topics. With a dash of overreactive emotional polemics in response to change.
Or something valuable that clearly requires your personal knowledge to operate. Like a fancy radio.
This is one of the best comments I have ever read on here. Seriously great work - thanks for writing this!
Why would they simulate a linked list using tuples? It seems a bit contrived (or rather, not Pythonic) when lists are a built-in datatype.
The moral of the story is to simply not update older Apple devices. My brand new 4th gen iTouch was slow and buggy a year ago running iOS 5 right out of the box-I don't see why people think its worth the risk updating.
Do you know if "Google Chrome Helper" is part of Chromium? It seems like it, but I couldn't find clear information either way.

In any case, Google Chrome Helper makes me trust Chrome even less. Your comment made me curious about it, and it turns out that once activated, it's perpetually open in the background, often maxing out the processor, and it can't be quit without uninstalling Chrome. Supposedly it's related to Google Cloud Print and/or Flash, but I had both disabled and the above was still true.

Makes the caution about potential backdoors/vulnerabilities seem that much more reasonable.

How To Build A Blog Readership
Gets a few facts wrong— E.g. the maximum block size is 1MB not 10MB, and there is no facility to increase it without replacing all the software—it's as fundamentally hard to change as the supply of coins because it's also a scarcity which is essential to the security of the system. (without it, the system would rapidly become centralized as miners produced enormous blocks taking every single with-fee transaction; and then no one but miners could afford the computational, storage, and network costs of validating the gigantic blocks; nor would there be reason to pay substantive transaction fees to fund security).

Overall it's pretty good.
Bizarre stuff you never knew about Venus and Mars
there are many libraries written in JavaScript that are difficult to use in plain JavaScript due to the use of a classy syntax, that's why even halfway decent developers care about displaying clean interfaces / API endpoints.

Nest went after the patents http://allthingsd.com/20120926/nest-takes-honeywell-patents-...
Yup. I think we're going to see this more and more. Companies that generate significant success from outliers, find funky ways to burn through the (substantial) cash by growing and then are unable to repeat their initial success to keep fuelling things. If they can repeat the success then more power to them.
The biggest problem with other MUAs on OS X is Spotlight integration. I would love to have sufficient free time to write an mbox importer for Spotlight, because then you could run dovecot locally and still get the nice searching.
"sort of for the same reason black men in the US aren't going to love it if someone calls them "boys."

Why oh why do you need to point this out? I use the words girls and guys all the time and it doesn't mean anything racist or sexist.
A bit out of topic FYI -- Java and Sumatra are the names of two of the 5 major islands in Indonesia. The country has a grand total of 17,000 islands.
Can you point to some part of the text that needs editing? I don't think the English in the FAQ is bad written at all (as a non-native speaker myself). I agree the "non-technical" thing is a bit misleading though.
Most of the comments here are a bum-out. Firstly, I don't think this is as trivial an idea to execute as a number of folks are saying. If you haven't launched something close to this complicated, you should refrain from suggesting this isn't much of an effort. It's clear that a lot of thought and work went into the concept, site, video, and product.

Second, this is rad! Maybe we're getting cynical or a bit lost in history, but the idea that for about what lunch costs lately a kid (chronological or spiritual) can get a website to send them something totally custom is pretty awesome. Think hard about how long this has even been practical to do at all, much less as a tiny upstart.

Oh, and it appears to be a successful Kickstarter project... so it's nice to see evidence of those.
Stepping up just slightly from the fact that this is about a gun, this is really just part of the movement to get access and production closer to people, with fewer intermediaries. Linux and other open source. Servers. Personal assistants. Music, books and other media production and consumption.

(And in that vein, if companies are intent on getting more done with fewer employees, then I'm fully on board with getting more stuff from fewer companies. But that's another rant.)

In the US, we have the unique atmosphere of the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms, and so this is also a way to make it easier for citizens to exercise their rights.

Finally, 3D printing and its effects have shown up here on HN a couple times recently. HN'er cstross's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_34_%28novel%29 is a great novel that features exactly that idea as a sub plot. I really enjoyed the book.
> Incidentally, I don't mean to call you out in particular, but when you call grownup female programmers "girls," lots of very cool women will decide to hang out somewhere else -- sort of for the same reason black men in the US aren't going to love it if someone calls them "boys."

I agree with you that calling female programmers and coworkers as girls is demeaning, but it IS NOT the same as calling a black man a boy, which has a long history of racist oppression.
The guy on the video seems like a sociopath. I think his goal is to raise his profile amongst gun-rights activists. Politician in training.

Thank god there isn't a 3d printer for viruses. (yet)
I wonder if they can now pitch this as a marketing angle. Something like: "So good, they tried to ban it" or somesuch.

There are zero (0) that work with the LTE chip/frequencies in the new iPad.
Fair enough. I probably shouldn't have put CS in my examples. That's what I get for making assumptions!
